Definitions

- SE spectral efficiency
- DSP digital signal processing
- phase rotation filter with fast adaptive rate
- phase recovery methods To reduce the impact of laser phase noise on system performance, several single-tap phase rotation filter (with fast adaptive rate) based phase recovery methods have been proposed. However, these methods only work well for systems without using long-memory equalizer at the receiver, i.e. the short-reach system or long-reach system using inline optical dispersion compensation. Because the use of inline optical dispersion compensation not only increases the complexity of the inline optical amplifier design, but also significantly reduces fiber nonlinear tolerance, purely electrical/digital dispersion compensation is usually required in a high-speed coherent optical transmission system. For such a communication system, a linear digital filter/equalizer with very long memory length has to be introduced at the receiver to compensate for the accumulated dispersion from the transmission fiber.
- the present disclosure is generally directed to a DSP-based solution to reduce transmission impairments such as fiber nonlinear effects, laser phase noise, and amplifier noise for long-reach transmission of signals using high-order modulation formats.
- a method and system is directed to a single fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter for simultaneous mitigation of optical impairment from both equalizer-phase noise interaction (EPNI) and fiber nonlinear effects (FNE).
- EPNI equalizer-phase noise interaction
- FNE fiber nonlinear effects
- the method and system is directed to the use of single fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter to perform the common phase recovery function in addition to simultaneous mitigation of optical impairment from both EPNI and FNE.

- FIG. 1 illustrates a DSP-enabled coherent optical communication system according to one embodiment.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a DSP-enabled coherent optical communication system where a transmitter laser 102 with carrier frequency w s and phase noise ⁇ s(t) is modulated by an optical modulator 104 .
- the modulated optical signal is then transmitted through an optical-amplified transmission link 106 to coherent mixer 110 where the optical signal is coherently mixed with a continuous wave (CW) light emitted from a local oscillator (LO) 108 with carrier frequency w L and phase noise denoted as ⁇ L(t).
- CW continuous wave
- LO local oscillator
- the in-phase and quadrature components at two orthogonal polarizations (nominally denoted as X-pol and Y-pol) of the received signal are converted, using an optical-to-electrical converter 112 , into analog electrical signals, which are then digitized by analog-to-digital converter 114 .
- the digitized signals 116 are then sent to a DSP unit 118 for signal recovery and demodulation.
- the process of signal recovery and demodulation using DSP unit 118 consists of five steps.
- the received digitized signal 116 at each polarization is sent to a long-memory ‘static’ linear filter/equalizer 120 for fiber chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation.
- CD fiber chromatic dispersion
- the received digitized signal 116 could be presented as a plurality of signals, each signal having its own polarization.
- the DSP receiver may include a plurality of the long-memory ‘static’ linear filter/equalizers 120 , each of the long-memory ‘static’ linear filter/equalizers 120 configured to receive and process the signal having its own polarization.
- the received digitized signal 116 could be presented as a single signal having separate channels for each polarization (not shown).
- a DSP receiver may include a long-memory ‘static’ linear filter/equalizer 120 may be a single long-memory ‘static’ linear filter/equalizer 120 configured to receive and process a single signal having separate channels for each polarization. It is to be understood that in the case of the single signal, channels occupy different frequency bands.
- the CD-compensated signals 122 then pass through a butterfly-configured 2 ⁇ 2 adaptive equalizer 124 for polarization recovery and residual dispersion compensation. It is to be understood that the CD-compensated signals 122 may be presented as either a plurality of signals, as shown in FIG. 1 , or as a single signal having a plurality of channels (not shown). Because the rate of polarization change is much slower than the symbol rate (4 to 6 orders of magnitude slower), the required adaptive rate can be relatively slow, allowing the use of decision-directed adaptive equalization algorithms even with the use of high degree of time-interleave based parallel processing. Carrier frequency and phase recovery are performed following the polarization recovery.
- the carrier frequency offset between the signal source and the LO i.e., ⁇ w in FIG. 1
- the carrier frequency offset between the signal source and the LO i.e., ⁇ w in FIG. 1
- the total phase noise is estimated by using one of several algorithms, such as described in the “Nonlinear estimation of PSK-modulated carrier phase with application to burst digital transmission,” A. J. Viterbi and A. M. Viterbi, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, vol. IT-29, no. 4, July 1983, “An improved feed-forward carrier recovery algorithm for coherent receiver with M-QAM modulation format,” X. Zhou, IEEE Photonics Technol.
- the DSP functions described above work well for a liner transmission system using extremely narrow line-width lasers.
- a fiber transmission system using a narrow line width laser operating in the range from 100 kHz to 1 MHz there exist two major problems.
- the fiber system is not a linear system, and the Kerr nonlinear effect will cause additional signal distortion which is not compensated for or mitigated by using the conventional coherent receiver design as shown in FIG. 1 .
- the long-memory filter used in the receiver for the CD compensation will not only enhance the LO phase noise, but also convert the LO phase noise into amplitude noise.
- the long-memory CD-compensating filter will not enhance the phase noise from the signal source because the signal source passes through both the transmission fiber and the CD-compensating filter.
- the fiber dispersion and the CD-compensating filter will cancel out the impact from each other.
- the LO only passes through the CD-compensating filter so the impact from this filter cannot be canceled out.
- Such additional signal distortion caused by the interaction between the equalizer and the LO phase noise cannot be compensated for or mitigated by using the conventional one-tap phase-rotation filter as is shown in FIG. 1 .
- the signal distortion caused by both EPNI and FNE are correlated over multiple symbol periods.
- the symbol period is the time-domain duration for each data pulse.
- a time-varying multi-tap linear filtering process can be used to model both EPNI and FNE (to the first order).
- a fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter replaces the conventional one-tap phase rotation filter. Such a fast-adaptive multi-tap filter performs not only the normal phase recovery function, but also helps reduce the penalty due to additional signal distortion caused by EPNI and FNE.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a DSP-enabled coherent optical communication system for optical impairment mitigation using the fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter according to one embodiment.
- Transmitter laser 202 with carrier frequency w s and phase noise ⁇ s(t) is modulated by an optical modulator 204 of a transmitter 201 .
- the modulated optical signal is then transmitted through an optically-amplified transmission link 206 to coherent mixer 210 where the modulated optical signal is then coherently mixed with a CW light emitted from a local oscillator (LO) 208 with carrier frequency w L and phase noise denoted as ⁇ L(t).
- LO local oscillator
- the in-phase and quadrature components at two orthogonal polarizations (nominally denoted as X-pol and Y-pol) of the received signal are converted into analog electrical signals using an optical-to-electrical converter 212 .
- the electrical signals are then digitized using analog-to-digital converter 214 .
- the digitized signals 316 are sent to a DSP unit 218 for signal recovery and demodulation.
- the received digitized signal 216 at each polarization is sent to a long-memory ‘static’ linear filter/equalizer 220 for fiber chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation.
- the CD-compensated signals 222 are then passed through a butterfly-configured 2 ⁇ 2 adaptive equalizer 224 for polarization recovery and residual dispersion compensation.
- the rate of polarization change ( ⁇ 1 MHz) is much slower than the symbol rate (10-100 GHz, 4 to 6 orders of magnitude slower)
- the required adaptive rate can be relatively slow, allowing the use of decision-directed adaptive equalization algorithms even with the use of high degree of time-interleave based parallel processing.
- Carrier frequency and phase recovery are performed following the polarization recovery.
- the carrier frequency offset between the signal source and the LO (i.e., ⁇ w) is estimated using a frequency offset estimator 226 and then removed from the signal outputted from the butterfly-configured 2 ⁇ 2 adaptive equalizer 224 using a one-tap phase-rotation filter 228 .
- the total phase noise is estimated by using a fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter 232 . Because laser phase noise typically varies 2 to 4 orders of magnitude faster than the state of polarization change (tens of microseconds versus tens of nanoseconds), the adaption rate for the fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter 232 should be much faster than the regular polarization equalizer.
- a high adaptation rate can be realized using feed-forward based adaptation algorithms, such as, a block-by-block least square (LS) based algorithm, where the received data stream is divided into consecutive blocks, and filter coefficients of the said multi-tap filter are assumed to be constant over each data block, which may consist of tens to hundreds of consecutive data symbols.
- the changes of the filter coefficients from one block to the following block are estimated using LS based algorithms.
- multiple iterations may be applied to each data block for filter coefficients update.
- the phase-recovered signal 234 is then sent to the decision-making unit 236 for final signal demodulation.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a method for an optical impairment mitigation using a fast-adaptive multi-tap filter in the DSP-enabled coherent optical communication system as shown in FIG. 2 .
- a first compensated digitized signal is generated using a linear filter.
- the first compensated digitized signal is generated by sending a received digitized signal at each polarization to a long-memory ‘static’ linear filter/equalizer for fiber chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation.
- the received digitized signal is signal 216 of FIG. 2 and the long-memory ‘static’ linear filter/equalizer for fiber chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation is one or more 1 ⁇ 1 CD equalizers 220 of FIG. 2 .
- a second compensated signal is generated by conducting a polarization recovery and residual dispersion compensation using an adaptive equalizer.
- the polarization recovery and residual dispersion compensation is performed by passing the first compensated digitized signal through a butterfly-configured 2 ⁇ 2 adaptive equalizer.
- step 304 is presented in FIG. 2 as signal 222 being transmitted to butterfly-configured 2 ⁇ 2 adaptive equalizer 224 for polarization recovery and residual dispersion compensation where the signal output from the butterfly-configured 2 ⁇ 2 adaptive equalizer 224 is the second compensated signal of step 304 .
- the adaptation algorithm processor 238 of FIG. 2 runs the decision-directed adaptive equalization algorithm for the polarization recovery and residual dispersion compensation.
- a frequency offset of the second compensated signal is estimated.
- step 306 is performed as part of a carrier frequency recovery performed following the polarization recovery.
- the carrier frequency offset ⁇ w between the signal source and the LO is estimated using frequency offset estimator 226 of FIG. 2 .
- the frequency-recovered signal is generated by removing the frequency offset of the second compensated signal.
- the carrier frequency offset ⁇ w is removed by one or more single-tap filters 228 of FIG. 2 .
- the removal of the carrier frequency offset ⁇ w in step 308 results in generation of frequency-recovered signal 240 of FIG. 2 .
- a phase-recovered signal is generated by performing a phase recovery of the frequency-recovered signal using a fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter.
- the adaption rate for the proposed fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter should be much faster than the regular polarization equalizer because laser phase noise typically varies 2 to 4 orders of magnitude faster than the state of polarization change (tens of microseconds versus tens of nanoseconds).
- a fast adaptation rate is achieved by using feed-forward based adaptation algorithms run on fast adaptive algorithm processor 230 of FIG. 2 .
- a classic block-by-block least square (LS) based algorithm is used as the feed-forward based adaptation algorithm.
- the method for an optical impairment mitigation of FIG. 3 concludes with step 312 where the phase-recovered signal generated at step 310 is demodulated.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary block-by-block based feed-forward adaption solution for fast adaption of the fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter 232 of FIG. 2 .
- the frequency-recovered signal, generated at step 308 of FIG. 3 is divided into blocks having multiple overlap symbols introduced between the blocks.
- a carrier phase over each block is estimated using common phase estimation algorithms, where the phase noise is assumed to be a constant over a multiple symbol period and it is also assumed that there is negligible phase noise to amplitude noise conversion.
- an estimated carrier phase is removed using the fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter 232 of FIG. 2 .
- an initial decision is made.
- the decision means the process in which a receiver determines the value of transmitted symbols in a signal. For example, if the transmitter sends “10101” to the receiver by pulse amplitude modulation, due to the noise corruption, the receiver needs to make a decision as to which pulse symbol has a value of “1” and which pulse symbol has a value of “0.”
- the initial decision is made based on performing strictly phase recovery over a current data block.
- the initial decision may also be made by applying the recovered phase of a prior data block to the current data block or by directly applying the EPNI/FNE filter coefficients acquired from the prior data block to the current data block, where the starting phase or EPNI/FNE coefficients may be obtained using a starting training sequence. Since the block length cannot be too large due to the need for rapid adaption, accumulated amplifier noise may degrade the performance of the fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter. This drawback may be alleviated by joint optimization of the fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter at both polarizations because the phase noise in X- and Y-polarization is usually correlated (since they are typically from the same source).
- one or more ‘optimal’ coefficients of the fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter are estimated by using for example well-known LS based algorithms.
- ‘optimal’ coefficients of the fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter are updated with the one or more optimal coefficients estimated at step 410 .
- the frequency-recovered signal of step 308 of FIG. 3 is equalized using the fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter having updated ‘optimal’ coefficients.
- a decision is made by the decision-making unit 236 with respect to the frequency-recovered signal equalized at step 414 . It is to be understood that, to reduce the impact of imperfect decision accuracy, multiple iterations may be applied to each data block for filter coefficients update.
- the method of FIG. 3 may also be used for the case where the long-memory CD-compensation filter is placed at the transmitter (i. e. pre-compensation).
- the long-memory CD-compensation filter is placed at the transmitter, there is no long memory filter placed at the receiver, so the LO will not be affected by the impact of long-memory filter.
- the transmitter source will experience only the fiber dispersion and the impact from fiber dispersion cannot be canceled out. Accordingly, in this case, the interaction between the fiber dispersion and the signal source phase noise will be similar to the interaction between the LO and the CD-compensating filter and therefore can also be mitigated by using the proposed method.
- the method of FIG. 3 can be easily extended to future space division multiplexing (SDM) systems, where not only a long-memory filter is required for fiber CD compensation, but a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) equalizer having a substantial length may also be needed (e.g. the use of few-mode or coupled multi-core fibers) for modal dispersion compensation.
- MIMO multi-input multi-output
- the impairment caused by the interaction between the long MIMO equalizer and the laser phase noise as well as the impairments caused by inter-mode nonlinear effects may be compensated by the proposed fast-adaptive multi-tap equalization method.
- the use of multiple spatial modes can be used to enable the improvement of the EPNI/FNE equalization performance by joint optimizing the equalizer coefficients over multiple spatial modes.
- the impairment mitigation method described above has been numerically verified for a 7-channel 50 GHz-spaced 49 Gbaud PDM-16QAM system (operating at 392-Gb/s per channel bit rate, with Nyquist pulse shaping using a roll off factor 0.01) by using a block-by-block iterative LS algorithm.
- the transmission link consists of total 20 erbium-doped-fiber-amplified (EDFA) spans, and each span is composed of 100 km of large area fiber (dispersion coefficient and fiber loss are assumed to be 21 ps/nm/km and 0.18 dB/km, respectively) and EDFA-only amplification (noise figure is assumed to be 5 dB).
- No inline optical dispersion compensation is used for this simulation.
- polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) and polarization-dependent loss is not considered in this simulation.
- PMD polarization-mode dispersion
- PMD polarization-dependent loss

- the block length is chosen to be 80 symbols (including 5 overlap symbols) and three iterations are applied for each data block, where the initial decision for each data block is made based on the same phase recovery algorithm used for the conventional coherent receiver (i.e. for the blue symbols).
- the proposed method effectively mitigates the impairments caused by EPNI and FNE.
- the proposed method improves the Q performance by 0.25 dB by mitigating the impairments caused by FNE.
- the proposed method improves the Q performance by 1.15 dB by mitigating the impairments from both EPNI and FNE.
- a 1.1 dB Q performance improvement can translate into a transmission reach increase by approximately 30%.
- the performance improvement of the proposed method can also be clearly seen from the constellation diagrams shown in FIG.
- constellation diagram 601 illustrates the results generated using a conventional coherent receiver with a sliding-window based two-stage maximum likelihood phase recovery algorithm and where constellation diagram 602 illustrates the results generated by the proposed new EPNI/FNE mitigation method using the fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter.
- the proposed fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter can be implemented as a 1 ⁇ 1 linear filter for each polarization, or each spatial mode for an SDM system, where the filter coefficients may be optimized either independently for each polarization/spatial mode or optimized by jointly considering more than one polarizations/spatial modes.
- the proposed fast-adaptive multi-tap digital filter may also be implemented as a butterfly-configured N ⁇ N MIMO equalizer for joint optimization of multiple spatial modes (two orthogonal polarizations can be assumed as two spatial modes).
